The process of working through a personal injury claim can be long and complicated - at a time when you just want to concentrate on your recover. I only have the highest praise for my Lawyer as they guided me through the process in a timely manner, with clear communication and professional advice.

High quality employment legal advice

Ellisons was recommended to me by a friend who works at the company. I compared their services with a few others in the Ipswich area, and Ellisons responded to my queries with the greatest urgency and clarity. Tina Maxey assisted me with professionalism, clear advice, and a friendly manner. I immediately trusted her guidance as she approached my case with detailed knowledge and kindly explained each point I was unsure about. Tina began working on my case straight away, promptly replying to my emails and providing updates. Despite being unwell for some of the time, Tina regularly kept me informed of progress, and all documents were delivered promptly. The fees were exactly as promised when I signed up with Ellisons, and Tina handled my case from start to finish. I would highly recommend Ellisons again.

Audrey McKenna helped us with our recent property sale and purchase.
The purchase turned out to be a difficult affair mainly because the vendors had chosen a large conveyancing firm who frankly were not good at all.
Audrey handled everything with infinite patience and professionalism and helped get the case over the line in spite of the vendors side.
Her service was exceptional, and I wouldn't go anywhere else for my conveyancing needs.
